These sorts of degrees are a sticky area because the vast majority of healthcare jobs are attached to a specific degree which comes with professional registration. This sort of degree opens up the graduate jobs market to you, which covers a vast range of positions, however these are not generally health related. The difficulty with a lot of healthcare careers is that you may find yourself competing for jobs against people who have more relevant degrees.*

I would recommend looking at the actual career you may be interested in, and then looking at qualifications which can lead to it, rather than just picking a degree you think you will enjoy. A degree is a big investment and you need it to feed into the career you want rather than just to have three/four years of interesting study which doesn't lead to anything in particular.*
